Seems like they upped the empty weight from 18,400kg → 18,830kg
They should just fix the damn drag of the grid fins.
Wouldnt even need to add R-77-1 if the fins havent been implemented as simple planars
R73m is basically already ingame. R77M is literally just a drawing for now
Same BR as the finnish F-18C btw. Imho it’s a compression issue(when more BRs gaijin)
I mean tbf, Finnish F-18C can easily be 13.7 because of no HMD
I think the engine buff would be fine without any of the suggested nerfs, the flight model is already botched as it is.

I’d rather avoid the b****ing and moaning than keeping it as is with the engine buff
It is operated though
It is not
Dunno, looks to be in active service, since it is the only R-77 variant that the su-57 can carry in its internal bays.
At least seems to be more real than the paper aim-260

ok so it went past the drawing stage i didnt know that. not in service, and testing is still very much ongoing. i dont have any idea how you could claim its in service when its still very much in development(literally a screenshot from a video of trials)
also why brin aim260 into this? r77m isnt a competitor to aim260. its a competitor to aim120d.
